Dominate the world in three weeks?

Terrence's 12th birthday party was grand and luxurious.

For aristocrats, 12 years old is an age at which they can stand up straight out of immaturity and start working hard for their future.The little nobles have already learned enough etiquette and knowledge from their tutors, and the next step is to exercise their abilities.

Therefore, on the 12th birthday, parents will personally hand over the badge that symbolizes the family honor to their children. This is a very important ceremony.

However, Terrence has a special status. He has inherited the title long ago and he no longer needs to get approval from his elders—in fact, he doesn’t have any—so this ceremony became a formal recognition by the Queen presenting the family scepter in person. Terrence's claim to family lands and various estates.

On this special day, there are naturally many guests.

What's more, everyone has heard the rumors. It is said that on this day, the young duke will introduce the adopted son of the old Duke Aldret to the noble circle. Everyone knows the twists and turns, so there are many people who come to watch .

Xavier Pacino is one of them.

He was humiliated by Terrence a few days ago, although his father told him not to take it to heart, but Xavier has always been arrogant, how could he really endure this tone.

In the middle of the banquet, he walked to Terrence's side with a smile on his face.

Terrence felt a headache when he saw him.

He actually doesn't like to have anything to do with this cousin with high eyes. If it weren't for Duke Pacino, Terrence would be mean and reckless, and he wouldn't be able to make a difference. In fact, he didn't say a word like He Ze Wildo said.

But by bypassing Lao Tzu's obstacle, he naturally couldn't avoid his son's troubles.

The relationship between Alderete and Pacino's mortal enemies is probably so lingering.

Xavier stood in front of Terrence, smiled and said gloatingly: "I really sympathize with you, cousin. I didn't expect my uncle to die for a year, but he left you a brother. I think you know the news He must have been very shocked. When I saw him just now, I was taken aback."

—No, I was shocked two lifetimes ago.

Terrence thought to himself, and said with a smile on his face, "So, cousin, you still need to practice a lot. You are a few years older than me, don't you have the ability to not be surprised by now?"

"you--!"

Xavier gritted his teeth and yelled, but he recovered quickly this time, raised his eyebrows and pointed his wine glass at the corner of the hall: "I can't help it when I'm frightened, this adopted son named Angus, his eyebrows and eyes are so similar to his uncle! Aren't you standing with him like a brother, but I think his blond hair is much more elegant and decent than yours, and his mother must be very beautiful."

Terrence followed Xavier's line of sight. In the corner near the terrace, Angus and Lancer were standing together, and the two of them didn't know what they were talking about.This made Terrence's expression darken.

Xavier has been peeking at Terrence's expression from the corner of his eyes, seeing his gloomy face, thinking that he has poked the other's sore spot, and is complacent, Terrence has turned his head.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at Xavier, who was nearly two heads taller than him: "To be honest, cousin, I also sympathize with you very much. It's probably because of my aunt's early death. I didn't expect you to always focus on Some older women. Unfortunately, Angus's mother has passed away, I think it's better for you, cousin, to take a good look at those girls of the right age, so as to save uncle from worrying about it."

Terrence made a "please" gesture: "The dance has begun, I hope you won't find a married woman, cousin."

After he finished speaking, he ignored Xavier's reaction and turned to leave.

Like this kind of banquet where nobles gather, although Lu Sien has a title, he will never attend it. Therefore, Yulea was entrusted to Mr. Archer by Teren Sto, and Lu Sien was asked several times not to talk to himself.

So only Lancer attended the banquet.

Of course, the original intention of the blond knight was to protect the young master at all times, but as the protagonist of the night, Terrence had to deal with a lot of guests, and it didn't take long for Lancer to be pushed aside.

After politely rejecting the conversations of several noble ladies, Lanser looked in Terrence's direction again, and found that the little master was rarely taking a break to eat, so he didn't look for him immediately.

He leaned against the carved stone pillar by the terrace, while watching Terrence's movements, while avoiding some noble ladies who were overly enthusiastic.

Angus came over at this moment.

His identity was revealed at the beginning of the banquet, but Nuoda had a banquet with hundreds of guests, but no one seemed to care whether there was someone like him.

Angus clenched his fists with a pale face, and looked at Terrence surrounded by the crowd.

He lived like a ghost for the first ten years, but now he is like a wandering spirit.If a person is content with the status quo, he should be satisfied even so, enjoyment and happiness are enough for him to live a stable life.

But Angus was born with a raging fire in his soul, which burned his internal organs to the point of pain.Terrence got a little more than him, and he was clamoring for it.

Angus took a deep breath and retreated from the crowd, just in time to see Lancer who was alone.

The lonely back of the blond knight, amidst the jewels and rich clothes, made Angus feel a little sense of familiarity and security—of course, in this hall where everyone looks strange, except for Terrence, it is indeed the only one. There was Lancer who Angus knew.

He walked up to the blond knight and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Lancer."

Angus took etiquette lessons for a few days, and the serious-faced lady couldn't understand his delicate girlish disguise. After a few times of teaching with the ruler, Angus finally gave up using stumbling words and In the process, the blond boy learned the power of smiling without a teacher.

"Why are you standing here alone? Didn't brother Terrence let you follow him?" Angus leaned sideways against the wall and looked at Lancer, covered by thick eyelashes, with eyes full of sinister.

Lancer glanced at Angus and heard the provocation hidden in his words.He was amused by the childish estrangement of a child, and thought that this was Terrence's actual brother, so he couldn't help but cast a cold gaze: "The master has his own affairs to deal with, how could I disturb him at this time."

"Your loyalty to your brother is really enviable. But don't you like me too much?" Angus blinked, his curled eyelashes fluttering, making his pale blue eyes sparkle like It's a harmless little animal.

"Every time I see you, I always speak nonsense to me. What did I do wrong to make you angry?"

"You think too much."

Lancer replied casually. He looked at Terrence and saw Xavier Pacino, who had always been at odds with the young master, walking over. Under the knight's superb sight, Terrence turned his head slightly, He sighed without a trace.That kind of helpless look made the corners of Lancer's mouth curl up.

Angus saw Lancer's side face softened suddenly, followed his gaze, and the annoying face that was somewhat similar to himself was exposed in the gaps of the walking crowd.

Angus' eyes flickered, and he turned the topic to Terrence: "Brother Terrence looks so imposing today, which makes me feel proud. I think you are also proud of him. Maybe I can ask, are you How did you get to know brother Terrence? The servants at home say that you are brave and righteous, and that you are Aldrete's benefactor."

Hearing Angus talk about Terrence's name, Lancer finally turned his attention to the boy next to him.His words reminded Lancer of the time when he and Terrence first met. Thinking about it a year later, Lancer felt a softness in his heart for some reason.

"I may have done something for the master, but I don't think it's anything compared to his admirable perseverance."

That's right, at that time Lancer just kept trying to save Terrence's life, so he didn't have to be complacent about it, let alone gain Terrence's gratitude for it.On the contrary, he would like to thank the goddess of fate for this. It was the unintentional act of pity at that time that allowed him to find a master worthy of following.

In the past year, Lancer has seen Terrence's difficult situation and hard work. The vitality and perseverance of the little master made Lancer feel very dazzling.

As Lancer said, he turned his head again to find Terrence's position, and was facing the other side's gaze.The eye contact was only for a moment, and Terrence quickly looked away, but Lancer noticed the gloomy mood under Terrence's gaze.

"Judging from your tone, it seems that you really like brother Terrence, this is really—"

In the middle of Angus's words, Lancer stood up straight and walked quickly into the crowd without saying hello to him.

Angus squinted as he watched the blond knight bypass the nobles who were talking in twos and threes, and walked towards the back door leading to the garden, while Terrence's black hair flashed by the door.

He tilted his head and finished speaking: "This is really maddening with jealousy."

—Darling, Terrence, brother, everything you have is so beautiful, and my world is so dark.The world is so unfair, isn't it?

Angus took a glass of red wine from the waiter who had just passed by, swallowed it bit by bit into his throat, and finally stuck out his tongue to lick the red liquid remaining at the corner of his lips.

Alcohol made his brain tremble and excited, he stood in the corner and softly hummed a folk tune: "That blond knight~ His loyalty is so coveted~ One day I will get him~ Luckily if I don't stand By my side, I will destroy him~"

Terrence walked out of the hall, the cool night wind blew through his hair, and the faint scent of flowers permeated the tip of his nose, bit by bit driving away the headache-causing smell of face powder.

He loosened the royal blue ribbon on his collar, revealing a slender neck.

Lancer had already chased him out at this time, saw Terrence's figure, and walked up to him in a few steps: "Master, why did you come out? Did Mr. Pacino say something ugly to make you unhappy?"

Terrence turned his head in surprise, he didn't expect Lancer to find him so soon.He shrugged and asked, "Why did you come out? I thought you and Angus were having fun."

Lancer blinked and asked, "Are you jealous about this, master? Please rest assured, I have sworn allegiance to you, and a knight will not violate his oath."

Terrence frowned: "I don't know what my words have misunderstood you to this extent."

"Well, maybe I misunderstood." Lancer changed his words graciously, but still added an "if", "Even if you are really unhappy because of this, I will not laugh at you for it. Fact Now, I'll be honored that your rare immaturity is due to me."

"No." Terrence raised his eyebrows, "I just feel that I can't communicate with you now. You can go back to the banquet and let me breathe here alone."

As he spoke, he turned his head and walked down the steps, but because he walked too fast, he took a wrong step and fell down the corridor.Lancer reached out to stop him, but the steps were too narrow, which made him lose his balance.

The two fell into the bush together, making a rustling sound of branches and leaves rubbing against each other.

Lancer adjusted his position the moment he jumped down the steps, turned Terrence on his body, and used himself as a pad.

This movement startled the people nearby, and a woman's exclamation sounded in the distance: "Someone...!"

"It's okay...it's about the same as us, you should concentrate on watching me..." Another male voice followed closely and comforted.

Terrence sat on Lanser's body, his face turned green and pale - heck, "about the same as us"!

The songbird also flew out because of this movement. It was frightened, and it forgot about Terrence's warning not to move around before the banquet started, and opened its beak to scream.

Terrence whispered: "Don't bark!"

He backed away from Lanser and stood up. The blond knight knew that the little master was in a bad mood, so he didn't speak. He wanted to sit up on the ground, but when he moved, he realized that his wrist was entangled by the bushes at some point. on the ground.

He looked at Terrence and couldn't help showing a wry smile: "Master, your magic power has improved again."

"Thank you for the compliment." Terrence swept away the floating dirt on his body, and Songbird obediently took the fallen leaves from his head, "I don't think it will take a few seconds for you to get it off, but at least within 10 minutes , don’t let me see you appear in the hall.”

Terrence bent his lips, not sure if he was really happy.

"Obey, master." Lancer had no choice but to relax the strength on his wrist, and lay down in the crushed leaves.

——At least tonight's starry sky is beautiful, and it's rare for the owner to blush.

The blond knight who was left behind thought bitterly.

The author has something to say: In the last update, I forgot to thank you for the landmines of Noujun, and the landmines of Yuan Shiyijun and Zeyanjun in the past two days, what?╭(╯3╰)╮
